Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at anytime. The Underwriters may offer the Offered Shares at a price lower than the price indicated above. See ‘‘Plan ofDistribution’’.

The Offering is anticipated to close on or about March 16, 2015 (the ‘‘Closing Date’’). Therefore, investors in theOffering will not be eligible to receive the dividend payable on March 31, 2015 to shareholders of record on March 13,2015. See ‘‘Dividends’’.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING OIL AND GAS RESERVE AND RESOURCE ESTIMATES

This Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference therein, containdisclosure respecting oil, natural gas liquids (‘‘NGLs’’ and, together with oil and condensate, ‘‘liquids’’) andnatural gas production expressed as ‘‘cubic feet of natural gas equivalent’’ and ‘‘barrels of oil equivalent’’ or‘‘boe’’. All equivalency volumes have been derived using the ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to onebarrel of oil. Equivalency measures may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A conversion ratio of sixthousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil is based on an energy equivalence conversion methodprimarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that thevalue ratio based on the current price of oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energyequivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value.

The securities regulatory authorities in Canada have adopted National Instrument 51-101 — Standards ofDisclosure for Oil and Gas Activities (‘‘NI 51-101’’), which imposes oil and gas disclosure standards for Canadianpublic issuers engaged in oil and gas activities. NI 51-101 permits oil and gas issuers, in their filings withCanadian securities regulatory authorities, to disclose not only proved, probable and possible reserves but alsoresources, and to disclose reserves and production on a gross basis before deducting royalties. Probable reserves,possible reserves and resources are of a higher risk and are less likely to be accurately estimated or recoveredthan proved reserves. The Corporation is permitted to disclose reserves in accordance with Canadian securitieslaw requirements and the disclosure in the documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus includesreserves designated as probable reserves, possible reserves and contingent resources. The SEC definitions ofproved, probable and possible reserves are different than the definitions contained in NI 51-101; therefore,proved, probable and possible reserves disclosed in the documents incorporated by reference into the Prospectusin compliance with NI 51-101 may not be comparable to United States standards. The SEC requiresUnited States oil and gas reporting companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved reservesafter the deduction of royalties and production due to others, but permits the optional disclosure of probableand possible reserves.

In addition, certain documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus contain estimates of contingentresources. The SEC does not permit the disclosure of contingent resources in reports filed with it byUnited States oil and gas reporting companies. Contingent resources are not, and should not be confused with,reserves. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any or all of the Corporation’s contingent resources will beconverted into reserves. Additional information regarding these estimates can be found in the Corporation’sSupplemental Disclosure Document concerning its estimated reserves and economic contingent resources datedMarch 3, 2015 (the ‘‘Supplemental Disclosure Document’’), which is incorporated by reference inthe Prospectus.

The contingent resource estimates provided in the documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectusare estimates only. Actual contingent resources (and any volumes that may be reclassified as reserves) and futureproduction from such contingent resources may be greater than or less than the estimates provided herein.

Moreover, as permitted by NI 51-101, the Corporation has determined and disclosed the estimated netpresent value of future net revenue from its reserves in its NI 51-101 compliant reserves disclosure using forecastprices and costs. The SEC requires that reserves and related future net revenue be estimated based on historical12-month average prices, but permits the optional disclosure of revenue estimates based on different price andcost criteria, including standardized future prices or management’s own forecasts. Accordingly, such estimatedfuture net revenue may not be comparable to United States standards.

For additional information regarding the presentation of the Corporation’s reserves and other oil and gasinformation, including the primary differences between Canadian and U.S. reporting requirements, see thesection entitled ‘‘Narrative Description of the Business — Reserves and Other Oil and Gas Information’’ in theCorporation’s Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2014 dated March 3, 2015(the ‘‘Annual Information Form’’), which is incorporated by reference in the Prospectus. Certain disclosure ofthe Corporation’s reserves prepared in accordance with United States disclosure requirements is set forth inAppendix D to the Annual Information Form entitled ‘‘U.S. Protocol Disclosure of Reserves Data and OtherOil and Gas Information’’.

ENCANA CORPORATION

The Corporation is a leading North American energy producer that is focused on developing its strongportfolio of resource plays, held directly and indirectly through its subsidiaries, producing natural gas, oil andNGLs. All of the Corporation’s reserves and production are located in North America.

For a description of the Corporation’s business, see ‘‘Narrative Description of the Business’’ in the AnnualInformation Form and ‘‘Encana’s Business’’ in the Corporation’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis for theyear ended December 31, 2014 (the ‘‘Annual MD&A’’), both of which are incorporated by reference inthe Prospectus.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

2015 Capital Program

On February 25, 2015, the Corporation announced that it reduced its 2015 capital program to betweenUS$2.0 billion and US$2.2 billion, using assumptions of US$50.00 per barrel West Texas Intermediate oil pricesand NYMEX natural gas prices of US$3.00 per million British thermal units, and updated its 2015 guidance toan estimated total liquids production of between 130,000 and 150,000 barrels per day, total natural gasproduction of between 1,600 and 1,700 million cubic feet per day and overall production of between 395,000 and430,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.

Note Redemptions

Concurrent with the Offering, the Corporation intends to issue a notice of redemption to holders of itsUS$700 million aggregate principal amount of 5.90% notes due 2017 (the ‘‘2017 Notes’’), and its C$750 millionaggregate principal amount of 5.80% medium term notes (series 4) due 2018 (the ‘‘2018 Notes’’ and, togetherwith the ‘‘2017 Notes’’, the ‘‘Notes’’), to redeem all of the Notes in April 2015 pursuant to the terms of theirrespective indentures (the ‘‘Note Redemptions’’). The Corporation expects to use the proceeds received fromthe sale of the Offered Shares to complete the Note Redemptions. See ‘‘Use of Proceeds’’.

RISK FACTORS

Before deciding to invest in the Offered Shares, you should carefully consider all the information containedin this Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference therein. Aninvestment in the Offered Shares is subject to certain risks, including risks related to the business of theCorporation, risks related to oil and natural gas operations and risks related to the Corporation’s securitiesdescribed in the documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus. If any event arising from these risksoccurs, the Corporation’s operations, anticipated financial performance, business prospects or strategies, or yourinvestments in the Offered Shares could be materially adversely affected.

In addition to the other information contained in this Prospectus Supplement, the accompanyingProspectus and the documents incorporated by reference therein, you should carefully consider the risks factorsset forth in the accompanying Prospectus under the heading ‘‘Risk Factors’’, in the Annual Information Formunder the heading ‘‘Risk Factors’’ and in the Annual MD&A under the heading ‘‘Risk Management’’. These risksare not the only risks the Corporation faces. Additional risks not presently known to the Corporation or that theCorporation incorrectly deems immaterial may also impair its business and impact your investment in theOffered Shares.

Risks Related to the Corporation’s Common Shares

The Common Shares are publicly traded and are subject to various factors that have historically made the marketprice volatile.

The market price of the Common Shares has been, and may continue to be, subject to fluctuations andvolatility. During the period from March 1, 2014 to March 3, 2015, the trading price of the Common Shares hasbeen as high as C$26.85 and as low as C$13.31 per share on the TSX and as high as US$24.83 and as low asUS$11.45 per share on the NYSE. See ‘‘Trading Price and Volume’’. The market price of the Common Shares

S-6

may increase or decrease in response to a number of events and factors, including actual or anticipatedvariations in the Corporation’s financial condition or operating results; announcements of new developments;changes in financial reports by securities analysts or failure to meet such analysts’ expectations; a downgrade,suspension or withdrawal of the rating assigned by a rating agency to the Corporation’s indebtedness; theoccurrence of major catastrophic events; and sales of the Common Shares in the marketplace.

During the recent period of low commodity prices, the securities markets have experienced extremevolatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broadmarket fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of the Common Shares. As a result, investors may notbe able to resell their Common Shares at or above the Offering Price.

Future issuances or sales of Common Shares may result in dilution to present and prospective holders ofCommon Shares.

The Corporation’s articles allow the Corporation to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares. TheCorporation may raise funds for future operations through the issuance of additional Common Shares or othersecurities convertible into Common Shares, and may issue Common Shares pursuant to its dividendreinvestment plan. Any future issuance of Common Shares, or other securities convertible into Common Shares,may result in dilution to present and prospective holders of Common Shares.

The decision to pay dividends by the board of directors of the Corporation and the amount of such dividends mayvary from time to time.

Although the Corporation currently intends to pay quarterly cash dividends to its shareholders, these cashdividends may be reduced or suspended. The amount of cash available to the Corporation to pay dividends, ifany, can vary significantly from period to period for a number of reasons. The decision whether or not to paydividends and the amount of any such dividends are subject to the discretion of the Corporation’s board ofdirectors, which regularly evaluates the Corporation’s proposed dividend payments and the solvency testrequirements of the Canada Business Corporations Act. In addition, the level of dividends per Common Sharewill be affected by the number of outstanding Common Shares and other securities that may be entitled toreceive cash dividends or other payments. Dividends may be increased, reduced or suspended depending on theCorporation’s operational success, the performance of its assets or other reasons. The market value of theCommon Shares may deteriorate if the Corporation is unable to meet dividend expectations in the future, andthat deterioration may be material.

Risks Related to the Corporation

Because the Corporation is a Canadian corporation, certain civil liabilities and judgments may not be enforceableagainst it.

The Corporation is incorporated under the laws of Canada. Some of its officers and directors, and some ofthe experts named elsewhere in this Prospectus Supplement, the accompanying Prospectus and the documentsincorporated by reference therein, are residents of Canada. Many of the Corporation’s assets and the assets ofthese persons are located outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for a holder of CommonShares to initiate a lawsuit within the United States against these non-U.S. residents, or to enforce in theUnited States judgments that are obtained in a U.S. court against the Corporation or these persons. It may alsobe difficult for a holder of Common Shares to enforce a U.S. judgment in Canada, or to succeed in a lawsuit inCanada, based solely on violations of U.S. securities laws. See ‘‘Enforceability of Civil Liabilities’’ in thisProspectus Supplement and in the accompanying Prospectus.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The net proceeds from the sale of the Offered Shares will be approximately C$1,205 million (approximatelyC$1,386 million if the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full), after deducting the Underwriters’ Fee and theestimated expenses of the Offering of approximately C$1.0 million. The net proceeds of the Offering areexpected to provide the Corporation with additional financial flexibility by reducing the Corporation’s long-termdebt and interest expense. The Corporation intends to use the net proceeds received from the sale of the

S-7

Offered Shares, along with cash on hand and, if required, other sources of funds including under the CreditFacilities, to redeem US$700 million of long-term debt maturing in 2017 and C$750 million of long-term debtmaturing in 2018. See ‘‘Recent Developments’’.

CONSOLIDATED CAPITALIZATION

There has been no material change in the Corporation’s share and loan capital, on a consolidated basis,since December 31, 2014. As at December 31, 2014, after giving effect to the issuance and sale of the OfferedShares pursuant to the Offering (including the potential Additional Shares issuance pursuant to theOver-Allotment Option) and the intended use of proceeds thereof and from other sources as described under‘‘Use of Proceeds’’, the share capital of the Corporation may increase by up to a maximum of approximatelyC$1,386 million, after deducting the Underwriters’ Fee and the estimated expenses of the Offering, and the totallong-term debt would decrease by approximately US$1,347 million.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES OFFERED

For the description of the terms and provisions of the Common Shares, see ‘‘Description of Share Capital —Common Shares’’ in the accompanying Prospectus. As of March 4, 2015, there were approximately 741.2 millionCommon Shares issued and outstanding.

ELIGIBILITY FOR INVESTMENT

In the opinion of Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, counsel to the Corporation, and Norton Rose FulbrightCanada LLP, counsel to the Underwriters, subject to the provisions of any particular plan, the Offered Sharesoffered hereby, if issued on the date hereof, would be, on such date, qualified investments under the IncomeTax Act (Canada) (the ‘‘Tax Act’’) and the regulations thereunder (the ‘‘Regulations’’) for a trust governed by aregistered retirement savings plan (‘‘RRSP’’), a registered retirement income fund (‘‘RRIF’’), a registerededucation savings plan, a registered disability savings plan, a deferred profit sharing plan, or a tax- free savingsaccount (‘‘TFSA’’).

Notwithstanding that the Offered Shares may be qualified investments for a trust governed by an RRSP,RRIF or a TFSA, the annuitant under an RRSP or RRIF or the holder of a TFSA, as the case may be, may besubject to a penalty tax if such Offered Shares are ‘‘prohibited investments’’ for the RRSP, RRIF or TFSA withinthe meaning of the Tax Act. The Offered Shares will generally not be a ‘‘prohibited investment’’ provided thatthe annuitant under the RRSP or RRIF or the holder of the TFSA, as the case may be, deals at arm’s lengthwith the Corporation for purposes of the Tax Act and does not have a ‘‘significant interest’’ (as defined in theTax Act) in the Corporation.

Prospective investors who intend to hold Offered Shares in their RRSP, RRIF or TFSA should consult theirown tax advisors regarding whether the Offered Shares will be a prohibited investment in their particularcircumstances.

Accordingly, investors who wish to trade Offered Shares prior to theClosing Date may be required to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent afailed settlement. Investors who wish to trade Offered Shares prior to the Closing Date should consult theirown advisors.

Over-Allotment Option

The Corporation has granted to the Underwriters the Over-Allotment Option, exercisable in whole or inpart, in the sole discretion of the Underwriters, for a period of 30 days from the closing of the Offering, topurchase up to 12,842,475 Additional Shares at the Offering Price, to cover over-allotments, if any, and formarket stabilization purposes. A person who acquires Common Shares issuable upon exercise of theOver-Allotment Option acquires such shares under this Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus regardless ofwhether the over-allocation position is ultimately filled through the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option orsecondary market purchases. This Prospectus Supplement, and the accompanying Prospectus, qualify the

S-11

distribution of the Over-Allotment Option and the distribution of the Additional Shares issuable upon exerciseof the Over-Allotment Option.

Underwriters’ Fee

The Corporation has agreed to pay a cash fee to the Underwriters in the amount equal to 3.50% (C$0.511per Offered Share) of the gross proceeds of the sale of the Offered Shares, including gross proceeds realized onthe sale of Additional Shares issuable upon exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, if any.

The Underwriters propose to offer the Offered Shares initially at the price specified on the cover of thisProspectus Supplement. After the Underwriters have made a reasonable effort to sell all of the Offered Sharesat the price specified on the cover page, the price may be decreased and may be further changed from time totime to an amount not greater than that set out on the cover page, and the compensation realized by theUnderwriters will be decreased by the amount that the aggregate price paid by purchasers for the OfferedShares is less than the gross proceeds paid by the Underwriters to the Corporation.

Price Stabilization and Short Positions

Until the distribution of the Offered Shares is completed, SEC rules may limit the Underwriters frombidding for and purchasing Common Shares. However, the Underwriters may engage in transactions thatstabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the Common Shares, such as bids or purchases to peg,fix or maintain that price in accordance with Regulation M under the U.S. Exchange Act.

Pursuant to rules and policy statements of certain Canadian provincial and territorial securities regulatoryauthorities, the Underwriters may not, at any time during the period ending on the date the selling process forthe Offered Shares ends and all stabilization arrangements relating to the Common Shares are terminated, bidfor or purchase Common Shares for their own account or for accounts over which they exercise control ordirection. The foregoing restrictions are subject to certain exceptions, on the condition that the bid or purchaseis not engaged in for the purpose of creating actual or apparent active trading in, or raising the price of, theCommon Shares. These exceptions include bids or purchases permitted under the Universal Market IntegrityRules for Canadian Marketplaces administered by the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canadarelating to market stabilization and passive market making activities and a bid or purchase made for and onbehalf of a customer where the order was not solicited during the period of distribution. Subject to theforegoing, in connection with this Offering, the Underwriters may over-allot or effect transactions that stabilizeor maintain the market price of the Common Shares at levels which might not prevail on the open market. Suchtransactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

If the Underwriters create a short position in the Common Shares in connection with the Offering, i.e., ifthey sell more Offered Shares than are listed on the cover of this Prospectus Supplement, the Underwriters mayreduce that short position by purchasing Common Shares in the open market. The Underwriters may also electto reduce any short position by exercising all or part of the Over-Allotment Option described above. Purchasesof Common Shares to stabilize the price or to reduce a short position may cause the price of the CommonShares to be higher than it might otherwise be in the absence of such purchases. No representation is made as tothe magnitude or effect of any such stabilization or other activities. The Underwriters are not required to engagein these activities.

Lock-Up Agreement

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Corporation has agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not todirectly or indirectly issue or agree to issue any Common Shares or securities or other financial instrumentsconvertible into or having the right to acquire Common Shares, or enter into any agreement or arrangementunder which the Corporation transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences ofownership of Common Shares, whether that agreement or arrangement may be settled by the delivery ofCommon Shares or other securities or cash, or agree to be bound to do so, or disclose to the public any intentionto do so, for a period from the date of the Underwriting Agreement until 90 days following closing of theOffering without the prior written consent of the Co-Lead Underwriters on behalf of the Underwriters, whichconsent will not be unreasonably withheld; provided that, the Corporation shall not be prevented or restricted

S-12

from issuing or agreeing to issue any of its Common Shares or securities or other financial instrumentsconvertible into or having the right to acquire its Common Shares: (i) as consideration in connection withacquisitions, mergers, combinations, plans of arrangement, take-over bids, tender offers or any other similartransactions; (ii) to employees and directors of the Corporation; (iii) pursuant to the Corporation’s dividendreinvestment plan; or (iv) pursuant to rights or obligations under securities or instruments outstanding on thedate hereof or issued as permitted by (i), (ii) or (iii) above.

CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

In the opinion of Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, counsel to the Corporation, and Norton Rose FulbrightCanada LLP, counsel to the Underwriters, the following is a summary of the principal Canadian federal incometax considerations under the Tax Act generally applicable to a holder who acquires as beneficial owner OfferedShares under the Offering and who, for purposes of the Tax Act and at all relevant times, deals at arm’s lengthwith, and is not affiliated with, the Corporation and the Underwriters and acquires and holds the Offered Sharesas capital property (a ‘‘Holder’’). Generally the Offered Shares will be considered to be capital property to aHolder provided that the Holder does not use or hold the Offered Shares in the course of carrying on a businessof buying and selling securities and such Holder has not acquired them in one or more transactions consideredto be an adventure or concern in the nature of trade.

This summary does not apply to a Holder (i) that is a ‘‘financial institution’’ for purposes of themark-to-market rules contained in the Tax Act; (ii) that is a ‘‘specified financial institution’’ as defined in theTax Act; (iii) an interest in which is a ‘‘tax shelter investment’’ as defined in the Tax Act; (iv) that reports its‘‘Canadian tax results’’ (as defined in the Tax Act) in a currency other than Canadian currency; or (v) that hasentered or will enter into, with respect to the Offered Shares, a ‘‘derivative forward agreement’’, as defined inthe Tax Act. Such Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to an investment in Offered Shares.

This summary is based on the facts set out in this Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus, the provisionsof the Tax Act, the Regulations and the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention in force as of the date prior to the datehereof, and counsel’s understanding of the current administrative policies and assessing practices of the CanadaRevenue Agency (the ‘‘CRA’’) published in writing by the CRA prior to the date hereof. This summary takesinto account all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act and the Regulations publicly announced by or on behalfof the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the ‘‘Tax Proposals’’) and assumes that the TaxProposals will be enacted in the form proposed, although no assurance can be given that the Tax Proposals willbe enacted in their current form or at all. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate anychanges in law or in the administrative policies or assessing practices of the CRA, whether by way of judicial,legislative or governmental decision or action. This summary is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federalincome tax considerations, and does not take into account other federal or any provincial, territorial or foreignincome tax legislation or considerations, which may differ materially from those described in this summary.

This summary is of a general nature only and is not, and is not intended to be, and should not be construedto be, legal or tax advice to any particular Holder, and no representations concerning the tax consequences toany particular Holder are made. The tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of Offered Shareswill vary according to the Holder’s particular circumstances. Holders should consult their own tax advisorsregarding the tax considerations applicable to them having regard to their particular circumstances.

S-14

Taxation of Resident Holders

The following portion of the summary applies to a Holder who, for purposes of the Tax Act and anyapplicable income tax treaty or convention, is or is deemed to be resident in Canada at all relevant times(a ‘‘Resident Holder’’). A Resident Holder to whom Offered Shares might not constitute capital property maymake, in certain circumstances, an irrevocable election permitted by subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act to have theOffered Shares, and all other ‘‘Canadian securities’’ as defined in the Tax Act, held by such Resident Holder inthe taxation year of the election and in all subsequent taxation years, treated as capital property. ResidentHolders should consult their own tax advisors regarding this election.

Dividends on Offered Shares

Dividends received or deemed to be received on the Offered Shares by a Resident Holder who is anindividual (other than certain trusts) will be included in the individual’s income and will be subject to thegross-up and dividend tax credit rules applicable to taxable dividends received by individuals from ‘‘taxableCanadian corporations’’, as defined in the Tax Act, including the enhanced gross-up and dividend tax credit rulesapplicable to any dividends designated by the Corporation as ‘‘eligible dividends’’ in accordance with theTax Act. The Corporation has, by notice on its website, indicated that all dividends paid on its Common Shareswill be designated as eligible dividends until notification of change is posted on its website. There may be limitson the ability of the Corporation to designate dividends as eligible dividends. Dividends received by individuals(other than certain trusts) may give rise to alternative minimum tax under the Tax Act, depending on theindividual’s circumstances.

Dividends received or deemed to be received on the Offered Shares by a Resident Holder that is acorporation will be included in computing the corporation’s income and will generally be deductible incomputing its taxable income. A Resident Holder that is a ‘‘private corporation’’ or a ‘‘subject corporation’’,each as defined in the Tax Act, may be liable to pay a 331⁄3% refundable tax under Part IV of the Tax Act ondividends received (or deemed to be received) on the Offered Shares to the extent that such dividends aredeductible in computing the Resident Holder’s taxable income.

Disposition of Offered Shares

Generally, upon a disposition (or a deemed disposition) of an Offered Share, a Resident Holder will realizea capital gain (or a capital loss) equal to the amount by which the Resident Holder’s proceeds of disposition aregreater (or less) than the Resident Holder’s adjusted cost base of such share and any reasonable costs of thedisposition. The adjusted cost base to the Resident Holder of an Offered Share acquired pursuant to thisOffering will, at any particular time, be determined by averaging the cost of such share with the adjusted costbase of all Common Shares of the Corporation owned by the Resident Holder as capital property at that time, ifany. The tax treatment of capital gains and capital losses is discussed below under ‘‘Taxation of Capital Gains andCapital Losses’’.

Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses

Generally, one-half of any capital gain (a ‘‘taxable capital gain’’), realized by a Resident Holder in ataxation year must be included in the Resident Holder’s income for that year and one-half of any capital loss(an ‘‘allowable capital loss’’) realized by a Resident Holder in a taxation year must be deducted against taxablecapital gains realized by the Resident Holder in the year. Allowable capital losses in excess of taxable capitalgains realized in a particular taxation year generally may be carried back and deducted in any of the threepreceding taxation years or carried forward and deducted in any subsequent taxation year against net taxablecapital gains realized by the Resident Holder in such years, to the extent and in the circumstances described inthe Tax Act.

The amount of any capital loss realized by a Resident Holder that is a corporation on the disposition(or deemed disposition) of an Offered Share may be reduced by the amount of any dividends received(or deemed to be received) by the Resident Holder on such share (or a share substituted for such share) to theextent and under the circumstances described in the Tax Act. Similar rules may apply where an Offered Share isowned by a partnership or trust of which a corporation, trust or partnership is a member or beneficiary.

S-15

A Resident Holder that is throughout the relevant taxation year a ‘‘Canadian-controlled privatecorporation’’, as defined in the Tax Act, may be liable for a refundable tax on its ‘‘aggregate investment income’’,which is defined to include an amount in respect of taxable capital gains.

Capital gains realized by an individual (other than certain trusts) may give rise to alternative minimum tax.

Taxation of Non-Resident Holders

This portion of the summary is applicable to a Holder who, at all relevant times, is neither resident inCanada nor deemed to be resident in Canada for purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable income tax treatyor convention, and who does not use or hold, (and is not deemed to use or hold) the Offered Shares inconnection with carrying on a business in Canada (a ‘‘Non-Resident Holder’’).

Special rules, which are not discussed in this summary, may apply to a Non-Resident Holder that is aninsurer that carries on an insurance business in Canada. Such Non-Resident Holders should consult their owntax advisors with respect to an investment in Offered Shares.

Dividends

Dividends paid or credited (or deemed to be paid or credited) to a Non-Resident Holder by theCorporation will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25%, subject to a reduction of such rateunder the terms of an applicable income tax treaty or convention. In general, in the case of a Non-ResidentHolder who is a resident of the United States for purposes of the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention, who is thebeneficial owner of the dividend and who is eligible to claim the benefits of the Canada-U.S. Tax Conventionunder the limitation on benefits provisions therein, the rate of such withholding tax will be reduced to 15%.Non-Resident Holders are urged to consult their own advisors to determine their entitlement to relief under anapplicable income tax treaty or convention.

Disposition of Offered Shares

A Non-Resident Holder generally will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of a capital gainrealized on the disposition or deemed disposition of an Offered Share unless the Offered Share constitutes (or isdeemed to constitute) ‘‘taxable Canadian property’’ of such Non-Resident Holder for purposes of the Tax Act,and the gain is not exempt from tax pursuant to the terms of an applicable income tax treaty or convention.

Provided the Offered Shares are listed on a ‘‘designated stock exchange’’ as defined in the Tax Act (whichcurrently includes the TSX and NYSE) at the time of disposition, the Offered Shares generally will notconstitute taxable Canadian property of a Non-Resident Holder unless, at any time during the 60 month periodimmediately preceding the disposition, (i) at least 25% of the issued shares of any class or series of the capitalstock of the Corporation were owned by or belonged to any combination of (a) the Non-Resident Holder,(b) persons with whom the Non-Resident Holder did not deal at arm’s length, and (c) partnerships in which theNon-Resident Holder or a person described in (b) holds a membership interest directly or indirectly through oneor more partnerships; and (ii) more than 50% of the fair market value of such shares was derived, directly orindirectly, from any combination of real or immovable property situated in Canada, ‘‘Canadian resourceproperty’’ (as defined in the Tax Act), ‘‘timber resource property’’ (as defined in the Tax Act), or options inrespect of, interests in, or for civil law rights in such properties, whether or not such property exists.Notwithstanding the foregoing, Offered Shares may be deemed to be taxable Canadian property in certaincircumstances specified in the Tax Act.

Non-Resident Holders whose Offered Shares may constitute taxable Canadian property should consult theirown tax advisors.

S-16

CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following discussion describes material U.S. federal income tax considerations to U.S. Holders (definedbelow) under present United States federal income tax laws of an investment in the Common Shares. Thisdiscussion is based upon the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the ‘‘Code’’), U.S. Treasuryregulations promulgated under the Code, court decisions, and published positions of the U.S. Internal RevenueService (‘‘IRS’’), all as in effect on the date of this Prospectus Supplement and all of which are subject to changeor differing interpretations, possibly with retroactive effect, that could affect the tax considerations describedbelow. This discussion applies only to investors that hold the Common Shares as ‘‘capital assets’’ within themeaning of Code Section 1221 (i.e., generally, for investment purposes) and that have the U.S. dollar as theirfunctional currency. This discussion does not address any aspect of non-income taxation or state, local ornon-U.S. taxation.

The following discussion does not deal with the tax considerations to any particular investor or to persons inspecial tax situations such as:

• banks;

• certain financial institutions;

• insurance companies;

• broker dealers;

• U.S. expatriates and former long-term residents of the United States;

• traders in securities that elect the mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities;

• tax-exempt entities;

• partnerships or other pass-through entities and any owners thereof;

• regulated investment companies;

• real estate investment trusts;

• U.S. Holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

• persons liable for alternative minimum tax;

• persons holding a Common Share as part of a straddle, hedging, conversion or integrated transaction; or

• persons that actually or constructively own 10% or more of our voting stock.

PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS ABOUT THEAPPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL TAX RULES TO THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES, ASWELL AS THE STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSIDERATIONS TO THEM OF THE PURCHASE,OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF COMMON SHARES.

For the purposes of this section, ‘‘U.S. Holder’’ means a beneficial owner of Common Shares that is, forU.S. federal income tax purposes:

• an individual U.S. citizen or resident alien;

• a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that isorganized in or under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia;

• an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

• a trust that (1) is subject to the supervision of a court within the United States and the control of one ormore U.S. persons; or (2) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to betreated as a U.S. person.

If a partnership or other pass-through entity is a beneficial owner of the Common Shares, the tax treatmentof a partner or other owner will generally depend upon the status of the partner (or other owner) and the

S-17

activities of the entity. Holders or prospective Holders of the Common Shares that are partners (or otherowners) of a pass-through entity that acquires the Common Shares are urged to consult their tax advisorsregarding the tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of the Common Shares.

Taxation of Dividends and Other Distributions on the Common Shares

Subject to the passive foreign investment company rules discussed below, the gross amount of a distributionpaid to a U.S. Holder with respect to the Common Shares (including amounts withheld to pay Canadianwithholding taxes) will be included in such U.S. Holder’s gross income as dividend income to the extent that thedistribution is paid out of the Corporation’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined underU.S. federal income tax principles). The dividends will not be eligible for the dividends-received deductionallowed to corporations. With respect to non-corporate U.S. Holders, including individual U.S. Holders,dividends may constitute ‘‘qualified dividend income’’ and, thus, may be taxed at the lower applicable capitalgains rate, provided that (1) the Corporation is eligible for the benefits of the United States-Canada income taxtreaty or the Common Shares, with respect to which dividends are paid, are readily tradable on an establishedsecurities market in the United States; (2) the Corporation is not a passive foreign investment company(as discussed below) for either our taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year; and(3) certain holding period requirements are met. The Corporation expects to be eligible for the benefits of theUnited States-Canada income tax treaty. Further, U.S. Treasury guidance indicates that the Common Sharescurrently are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States; however, there can be noassurance that the Common Shares will be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in theUnited States in future years. However, if the Corporation is a passive foreign investment company (‘‘PFIC’’) inthe taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year, dividends paid to non-corporateU.S. Holders generally will not be eligible for the preferential tax rates applicable to qualified dividend income.Dividends received on the Common Shares will be treated as income from sources outside the United States andgenerally will constitute ‘‘passive category income’’ for U.S. foreign tax credit limitation purposes. The rulesgoverning the foreign tax credit are complex and involve the application of rules that depend upon aU.S. Holder’s particular circumstances. Accordingly, U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisorsregarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.

To the extent that the amount of a distribution exceeds the Corporation’s current and accumulated earningsand profits, it will be treated first as a tax-free return of a U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its Common Shares, and tothe extent the amount of the distribution exceeds its tax basis, the excess will be taxed as capital gain. TheCorporation does not currently intend to calculate its earnings and profits under U.S. federal income taxprinciples. Therefore, U.S. Holders should expect that a distribution will be treated as a dividend.

Taxation of Disposition of the Common Shares

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, U.S. Holders will recognize taxable gain or loss on any sale,exchange or other taxable disposition of a Common Share equal to the difference between the amount realizedfor the Common Share and its adjusted tax basis in the Common Share. The gain or loss will be capital gain orloss. Non-corporate U.S. Holders, including individual U.S. Holders, that have held the Common Share formore than one year, are currently eligible for reduced tax rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject tolimitations. Any such gain or loss that a U.S. Holder recognizes will be treated as U.S. source gain or loss forforeign tax credit limitation purposes.

Passive Foreign Investment Company

The Corporation does not believe it was a PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, for its taxable yearended December 31, 2014, and it does not expect to be a PFIC for its current taxable year ending December 31,2015. This expectation for the current taxable year is based on, among other things, the Corporation’s estimatesof the current and anticipated value of its assets as determined, in part, on the expected price of the CommonShares following the Offering. The Corporation’s actual PFIC status for any taxable year will not bedeterminable until the close of the taxable year, and, accordingly, there is no guarantee that it will not be a PFIC

S-18

for the current taxable year or any future taxable year. A non-U.S. corporation is considered to be a PFIC forany taxable year if either:

• at least 75% of its gross income is passive income (e.g., dividends, interest and gains from the sale orexchange of investment property and certain rents and royalties); or

• at least 50% of the value of its assets (based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets during ataxable year) is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income.

For the purposes of the PFIC tests described above, the Corporation will be treated as owning itsproportionate share of the assets and earning its proportionate share of the income of any other corporation inwhich it owns, directly or indirectly, more than 25% (by value) of the stock.

The determination as to whether a company is a PFIC is made each year and this determination is highlyfact intensive. As a result, the Corporation’s PFIC status may change. In particular, PFIC status will bedetermined, in part, on the market price of the Common Shares, which is likely to fluctuate after the Offering. Ifthe Corporation is a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds the Common Shares, theCorporation will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such U.S. Holder for all succeeding yearsduring which it holds the Common Shares. In addition, for the purposes of the PFIC rules, a U.S. Holder will bedeemed to own its proportionate shares of any of the Corporation’s subsidiaries that are treated as PFICs.

If the Corporation is a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds the Common Shares,such Holder will be subject to adverse tax rules with respect to any ‘‘excess distribution’’ received and any gainrealized from a sale, exchange or other disposition (including certain pledges) of the Common Shares, unless theU.S. Holder makes a ‘‘mark-to-market’’ election as discussed below. Distributions received in a taxable year thatare greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by a U.S. Holder during the shorter of thethree preceding taxable years or such Holders holding period for the Common Shares will be treated as anexcess distribution. Under these special tax rules:

• the excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably over a U.S. Holder’s holding period in theCommon Shares;

• the amount allocated to the current taxable year, and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year inwhich the Corporation became a PFIC, will be treated as ordinary income; and

• the amount allocated to each of the other taxable years will be subject to the highest tax rate on ordinaryincome in effect for such U.S. Holder for that year, and an interest charge applicable to underpaymentsof tax would be imposed on the resulting tax liability as if that tax liability had been due for eachsuch year.

The tax liability for amounts allocated to years prior to the year of disposition or ‘‘excess distribution’’cannot be offset by any net operating losses for such years, and gains (but not losses) realized on the sale of theCommon Shares cannot be treated as capital gains, even if a U.S. Holder holds the Common Shares ascapital assets.

Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of ‘‘marketable stock’’ (as defined below) in a PFIC may make amark-to-market election for such stock in a PFIC to elect out of the tax treatment discussed in the two precedingparagraphs. If a U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election for its Common Shares, it will include in incomeeach year an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its Common Shares as of the close ofits taxable year over its adjusted basis in such Common Shares. Such U.S. Holder would be allowed a deductionfor the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of the Common Shares over their fair market value as of the close ofthe taxable year. However, deductions are allowable only to the extent of any net mark-to-market gains on theCommon Shares included in such U.S. Holder’s income for prior taxable years. Amounts included in incomeunder a mark-to-market election, as well as gain on the actual sale or other disposition of the Common Shares,are treated as ordinary income. Ordinary loss treatment also applies to the deductible portion of anymark-to-market loss on the Common Shares, as well as to any loss realized on the actual sale or disposition ofthe Common Shares, to the extent that the amount of such loss does not exceed the net mark-to-market gainspreviously included for such Common Shares. An electing U.S. Holder’s basis in the Common Shares will beadjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. The mark-to-market election will be effective for the

S-19

taxable year for which the election is made and all subsequent taxable years, unless the Common Shares cease tobe marketable stock or the IRS consents to the revocation of the election.

The mark-to-market election is available only for ‘‘marketable stock,’’ which is stock that is traded in otherthan de minimis quantities on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter (i.e., regularly traded) on a qualifiedexchange, including the NYSE, or other market, as defined in applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. TheCorporation expects that the Common Shares will continue to be listed on the NYSE and, consequently, themark-to-market election would be available to U.S. Holders if the Corporation were to be or become a PFICand if the Common Shares were regularly traded. However, were the Corporation to be or become a PFIC, amark-to-market election may not be available with respect to any subsidiary PFICs that a U.S. Holder would bedeemed to own. Accordingly, the ‘‘excess distribution’’ rules, discussed above, may apply with respect to anysubsidiary PFICs that a U.S. Holder would be deemed to own.

Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of stock in a PFIC may make a ‘‘qualified electing fund’’ election with respectto such PFIC to elect out of the tax treatment discussed above. A U.S. Holder that makes a valid qualifiedelecting fund election with respect to a PFIC will include in gross income for a taxable year such U.S. Holder’spro rata share of the PFIC’s earnings and profits for the taxable year. However, the qualified electing fundelection is available only if the PFIC provides such U.S. Holder with certain information regarding its earningsand profits as required under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. The Corporation does not currently intend toprepare or provide the information that would enable a U.S. Holder to make a qualified electing fund election.

If a U.S. Holder holds the Common Shares in any year in which the Corporation is a PFIC, such Holder willbe required to file IRS Form 8621, or any other form specified by the U.S. Treasury Department, for each suchyear. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to aninvestment in the Common Shares.

Receipt of Foreign Currency

The U.S. dollar value of any cash payment in Canadian dollars to a U.S. Holder will be translated intoU.S. dollars calculated by reference to the exchange rate prevailing on the date of actual or constructive receiptof the payment, regardless of whether the Canadian dollars are converted into U.S. dollars at that time. AU.S. Holder will generally have a basis in the Canadian dollars equal to their U.S. dollar value on the date ofreceipt. Any U.S. Holder that receives payment in Canadian dollars and converts or disposes of the Canadiandollars after the date of receipt may have a foreign currency exchange gain or loss that would be treated asordinary income or loss and that generally will be U.S. source income or loss for foreign tax credit purposes.U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own U.S. tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequencesof receiving, owning, and disposing of Canadian dollars.

Additional Tax on Investment Income

A non-corporate U.S. Holder whose income exceeds certain thresholds may be subject to a 3.8% tax on thelesser of (A) the U.S. Holder’s ‘‘net investment income’’ for the relevant taxable year, and (B) the excess of theU.S. Holder’s modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year over a certain threshold. Net investmentincome includes, among other things, dividends and net gain from disposition of property (other than propertyheld in a trade or business). U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisor regarding the additional taxon investment income.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Dividend payments with respect to the Common Shares and proceeds from the sale, exchange orredemption of the Common Shares may be subject to information reporting to the IRS and possible U.S. backupwithholding. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayeridentification number and makes any other required certification or who is otherwise exempt from backupwithholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status must provide such certification onIRS Form W-9. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisor regarding the application of the informationreporting and backup withholding rules.

S-20

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be creditedagainst a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, and such Holder may obtain a refund of any excessamounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRSand timely furnishing any required information.

U.S. return disclosure obligations (and related penalties for failure to disclose) apply to certainU.S. individuals who hold specified foreign financial assets if the total value of all such assets is more thanUS$50,000 on the last day of the tax year or more than US$75,000 at any time during the tax year. The definitionof specified foreign financial assets may include the Common Shares. U.S. Holders should consult their own taxadvisor regarding the application of these disclosure obligations.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

Except as set forth under ‘‘Description of Debt Securities’’, and unless the context otherwise requires, allreferences in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement to ‘‘Encana’’, the ‘‘Corporation’’, ‘‘we’’, ‘‘us’’ and‘‘our’’ mean Encana Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries and partnerships.

In this prospectus and in any prospectus supplement, unless otherwise specified or the context otherwiserequires, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars, references to ‘‘dollars’’, ‘‘$’’ or ‘‘US$’’ are toUnited States dollars and all references to ‘‘C$’’ are to Canadian dollars.

Unless otherwise indicated, all financial information included and incorporated by reference in thisprospectus or included in any prospectus supplement is determined using U.S. GAAP.

This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in the prospectus contain, and a prospectussupplement may contain, disclosure respecting oil and natural gas liquids (‘‘NGLs’’ and, together with oil andcondensate, ‘‘liquids’’) and natural gas production expressed as ‘‘cubic feet of natural gas equivalent’’ and‘‘barrels of oil equivalent’’ or ‘‘boe’’. All equivalency volumes have been derived using the ratio of six thousandcubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil. Equivalency measures may be misleading, particularly if used inisolation. A conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil is based on an energyequivalence conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalencyat the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of oil as compared to natural gas issignificantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleadingas an indication of value.

The securities regulatory authorities in Canada have adopted National Instrument 51-101 — Standards ofDisclosure for Oil and Gas Activities (‘‘NI 51-101’’), which imposes oil and gas disclosure standards for Canadianpublic issuers engaged in oil and gas activities. NI 51-101 permits oil and gas issuers, in their filings withCanadian securities regulatory authorities, to disclose not only proved, probable and possible reserves but alsoresources, and to disclose reserves and production on a gross basis before deducting royalties. Probable reserves,possible reserves and resources are of a higher risk and are less likely to be accurately estimated or recoveredthan proved reserves. We are permitted to disclose reserves in accordance with Canadian securities lawrequirements and the disclosure in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus include reservesdesignated as probable reserves, possible reserves and resources. The United States Securities and ExchangeCommission (the ‘‘SEC’’) definitions of proved, probable and possible reserves are different than the definitionscontained in NI 51-101; therefore, proved, probable and possible reserves disclosed in the documentsincorporated by reference into this prospectus in compliance with NI 51-101 may not be comparable toUnited States standards. The SEC requires United States oil and gas reporting companies, in their filings withthe SEC, to disclose only proved reserves after the deduction of royalties and production due to others, butpermits the optional disclosure of probable and possible reserves.

In addition, certain documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus contain estimates of contingentresources. The SEC does not permit the disclosure of contingent resources in reports filed with it byUnited States oil and gas reporting companies. Contingent resources are not, and should not be confused with,reserves. Additional information regarding these estimates can be found in our supplemental disclosuredocument concerning our estimated reserves and economic contingent resources dated February 24, 2014, whichis incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

The resource estimates provided in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus areestimates only. Actual contingent resources (and any volumes that may be reclassified as reserves) and futureproduction from such contingent resources may be greater than or less than the estimates provided herein.

Moreover, as permitted by NI 51-101, we have determined and disclosed the estimated net present value offuture net revenue from our reserves in our NI 51-101 compliant reserves disclosure using forecast prices andcosts. The SEC requires that reserves and related future net revenue be estimated based on historical 12-monthaverage prices, but permits the optional disclosure of revenue estimates based on different price and costcriteria, including standardized future prices or management’s own forecasts.

For additional information regarding the presentation of our reserves and other oil and gas information,including the primary differences between Canadian and U.S. reporting requirements, see the section entitled‘‘Reserves and Other Oil and Gas Information’’ in our Annual Information Form dated February 20, 2014,which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Certain disclosure of our reserves prepared inaccordance with United States disclosure requirements is set forth in the Appendix D to our AnnualInformation Form dated February 20, 2014 entitled ‘‘U.S. Protocol Disclosure of Reserves Data and OtherOil and Gas Information’’.

Debt Securities in Global Form

The Depositary, Book-Entry and Settlement

A series of our Debt Securities may be issued in whole or in part in global form as a ‘‘global security’’ andwill be registered in the name of and be deposited with a depositary, or its nominee, each of which will beidentified in the prospectus supplement relating to that series. Unless and until exchanged, in whole or in part,for our Debt Securities in definitive registered form, a global security may not be transferred except as a wholeby the depositary for such global security to a nominee of the depositary, by a nominee of the depositary to thedepositary or another nominee of the depositary or by the depositary or any such nominee to a successor of thedepositary or a nominee of the successor.

The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any portion of a particular series of ourDebt Securities to be represented by a global security will be described in a prospectus supplement relating tosuch series. We anticipate that the following provisions will apply to all depositary arrangements.

13

Upon the issuance of a global security, the depositary therefor or its nominee will credit, on its book entryand registration system, the respective principal amounts of our Debt Securities represented by the globalsecurity to the accounts of such persons, designated as ‘‘participants’’, having accounts with such depositary or itsnominee. Such accounts shall be designated by the underwriters, dealers or agents participating in thedistribution of our Debt Securities or by us if such Debt Securities are offered and sold directly by us. Ownershipof beneficial interests in a global security will be limited to participants or persons that may hold beneficialinterests through participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in a global security will be shown on, and thetransfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary therefor or itsnominee (with respect to interests of participants) or by participants or persons that hold through participants(with respect to interests of persons other than participants). The laws of some states in the United States mayrequire that certain purchasers of securities have the ability to take physical delivery of such securities indefinitive form.

So long as the depositary for a global security, or its nominee, is the registered owner of the global security,such depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the DebtSecurities represented by the global security for all purposes under the Indenture. Except as provided below,owners of beneficial interests in a global security will not be entitled to have a series of our Debt Securitiesrepresented by the global security registered in their names and will not receive or be entitled to receive physicaldelivery of such series of our Debt Securities in definitive form.

Payments of Principal, Premium, if any, and Interest

Any payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on global securities registered in the name of adepositary or its nominee will be made to the depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registeredowner of the global security representing such Debt Securities. None of us, the Trustee or any paying agent forour Debt Securities represented by the global securities will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect ofthe records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of the global security orfor maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

We expect that the depositary for a global security or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal,premium, if any, or interest, will credit participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to theirrespective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the global security as shown on the records of suchdepositary or its nominee. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in aglobal security held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices,as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in ‘‘street name’’, and will be theresponsibility of such participants.

• the successor entity expressly assumes or assumes by operation of law all of our obligations under theIndenture Securities and under the Indenture;

• immediately before and after giving effect to such transaction, no event of default, and no event which,after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an event of default, shall have happened and becontinuing; and

• substantially all of our unsubordinated and unsecured indebtedness for borrowed money which rankedpari passu with the then outstanding Indenture Securities immediately prior to the PermittedReorganization will rank no better than pari passu with the then outstanding Indenture Securities afterthe Permitted Reorganization; for certainty, there is no requirement for any such other indebtedness toobtain or maintain similar ranking to the then outstanding Indenture Securities and such otherindebtedness may be structurally subordinated or otherwise subordinated to the then outstandingIndenture Securities; or

• at least two of our then current rating agencies (or if only one rating agency maintains ratings in respectof the Indenture Securities at such time, that one rating agency) have affirmed that the rating assigned bythem to the Indenture Securities shall not be downgraded as a result of the Permitted Reorganization.

If, as a result of any such transactions referred to above, any of our or our Restricted Subsidiaries’Restricted Properties become subject to a Lien, then, unless such Lien could be created pursuant to theIndenture provisions described under the ‘‘Limitation on Liens’’ covenant above without equally and ratablysecuring the Indenture Securities, we, simultaneously with or prior to such transaction, will secure, or cause theapplicable Restricted Subsidiary to secure, the Indenture Securities to be secured equally and ratably with orprior to the indebtedness secured by such Lien.

Payment of Additional Amounts

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, all payments made by or on behalf ofus under or with respect to any series of the Indenture Securities will be made free and clear of and without

If we are so required towithhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Canadian Taxes from any payment made under or withrespect to the Indenture Securities, we will pay to each holder of such Indenture Securities as additional interestsuch additional amounts (‘‘Additional Amounts’’) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by eachsuch holder (including the Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction (and after deducting anyCanadian Taxes on such Additional Amounts) will not be less than the amount such holder would have receivedif such Canadian Taxes had not been withheld or deducted. However, no Additional Amounts will be payablewith respect to a payment made to an Indenture Securities holder (such holder, an ‘‘Excluded Holder’’) inrespect of the beneficial owner thereof:

• with which we do not deal at arm’s length (for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) at the timethe amount is paid or payable;

• which is subject to such Canadian Taxes by reason of the Indenture Securities holder being a resident,domicile or national of, or engaged in business or maintaining a permanent establishment or otherphysical presence in or otherwise having some connection with Canada or any province or territorythereof otherwise than by the mere holding of the Indenture Securities or the receipt of paymentsthereunder; or

• which is subject to such Canadian Taxes by reason of the Indenture Securities holder’s failure to complywith any certification, identification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements ifcompliance is required by law, regulation, administrative practice or an applicable treaty as aprecondition to exemption from, or a reduction in the rate of deduction or withholding of, suchCanadian Taxes.

In addition, Additional Amounts will not be payable if the beneficial owner of, or person ultimately entitledto obtain an interest in, such Indenture Securities is not the sole beneficial owner of such payments, or is afiduciary or partnership, to the extent that any beneficial owner, beneficiary or settlor with respect to suchfiduciary or any partner or member of such partnership would not have been entitled to such AdditionalAmounts with respect to such payments had such beneficial owner, beneficiary, settlor, partner or memberreceived directly its beneficial or distributive shares of such payments. In addition, Additional Amounts will notbe payable with respect to any Canadian Taxes which are payable otherwise than by withholding from paymentsof, or in respect of, principal of, or interest on, the Indenture Securities.

We will also:

• make such withholding or deduction; and

• remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law.

We will furnish to the holders of the Indenture Securities, within 60 days after the date the payment of anyCanadian Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts or other documents evidencingsuch payment by us.

• the payment of any Canadian Tax, together with any interest, penalties and reasonable expenses inconnection therewith; and

• any Canadian Taxes imposed with respect to any reimbursement under the preceding clause, butexcluding any such Canadian Taxes on such holder’s net income.

20

In any event, no Additional Amounts or indemnity amounts will be payable in excess of AdditionalAmounts or the indemnity amounts which would be required if the holder and beneficial owner of IndentureSecurities was a resident of the United States for purposes of the Canada-U.S. Income Tax Convention (1980),as amended.

Wherever in the Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal (and premium, ifany), interest, if any, or any other amount payable under or with respect to an Indenture Security, such mentionshall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context,Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

Tax Redemption

and, in any such case, we, or our successor, in our business judgment, determine that such obligation cannot beavoided by the use of reasonable measures available to us or our successor.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the risk factors set forth below, additional risk factors relating to our business are discussed inour Annual Information Form and our Management’s Discussion and Analysis, which risk factors areincorporated herein by reference. Prospective purchasers of the Securities should consider carefully the riskfactors set forth below as well as the other information contained in and incorporated by reference in thisprospectus and in the applicable prospectus supplement before purchasing the Securities offered hereby. If anyevent arising from these risks occurs, our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations or cashflows, or your investment in the Securities could be materially adversely affected.

The common shares may be subject to price and volume fluctuations, and the market price for the commonshares following an offering may drop below the offering price.

In recent years, securities markets have experienced considerable price and volume volatility, which mayhave been unrelated to the operating performance of Encana or the affected companies. The market price ofpublicly traded stock is affected by many variables, including the strength of the economy generally, commodityprices, the availability and attractiveness of alternative investments and the breadth of the public market for thestock. The effect of these and other factors on the market price of securities on the stock exchanges on which wetrade suggests that the trading price of the common shares may continue to be volatile. These fluctuations mayaffect the price of the common shares following an offering, and the market price of the common shares maydrop below the offering price. As a result of this volatility, you may not be able to sell your common shares at orabove the offering price.

The decision to pay dividends and the amount of such dividends is subject to the discretion of Encana’sBoard of Directors based on numerous factors and may vary from time to time.

Although Encana currently intends to pay quarterly cash dividends to its shareholders, these cash dividendsmay be reduced or suspended. The amount of cash available to Encana to pay dividends, if any, can varysignificantly from period to period for a number of reasons, including, among other things: Encana’s operationaland financial performance; fluctuations in the costs to produce natural gas, oil and NGLs; the amount of cashrequired or retained for debt service or repayment; amounts required to fund capital expenditures and workingcapital requirements; access to equity markets; foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates; and the riskfactors set herein and documents incorporated by reference herein.

28

The decision whether or not to pay dividends and the amount of any such dividends are subject to thediscretion of Encana’s Board of Directors, which regularly evaluates Encana’s proposed dividend payments andthe solvency test requirements of the Canada Business Corporations Act. In addition, the level of dividends percommon share will be affected by the number of outstanding common shares and other securities that may beentitled to receive cash dividends or other payments. Dividends may be increased, reduced or suspendeddepending on Encana’s operational success and the performance of its assets. The market value of the commonshares may deteriorate if Encana is unable to meet dividend expectations in the future, and that deteriorationmay be material.

Securities who reside in the United States to effect service within the United States upon those directors, officersand experts who are not residents of the United States. It may also be difficult for holders of Securities whoreside in the United States to realize in the United States upon judgments of courts of the United Statespredicated upon our civil liability and the civil liability of our officers and directors and experts under theUnited States federal securities laws. We have been advised by our Canadian counsel, Blake, Cassels &Graydon LLP, that a judgment of a United States court predicated solely upon civil liability under U.S. federalsecurities laws would probably be enforceable in Canada if the United States court in which the judgment wasobtained has a basis for jurisdiction in the matter that would be recognized by a Canadian court for the samepurposes. We have also been advised by Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, however, that there is substantial doubtwhether an action could be brought in Canada in the first instance on the basis of liability predicated solely uponU.S. federal securities laws.

We filed with the SEC, concurrently with our registration statement on Form F-10 of which this prospectusforms a part, an appointment of agent for service of process on Form F-X. Under the Form F-X, we appointedCT Corporation System as our agent for service of process in the United States in connection with anyinvestigation or administrative proceeding conducted by the SEC, and any civil suit or action brought against orinvolving us in a United States court arising out of or related to or concerning the offering of the Securitiesunder this prospectus.

In several of the provinces and territories, the securitieslegislation further provides a purchaser with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of theprice or damages if the prospectus, the accompanying prospectus supplement relating to the securitiespurchased by a purchaser and any amendment thereto contains a misrepresentation or is not delivered to thepurchaser, provided that the remedies for rescission, revision of the price or damages are exercised by thepurchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory ofresidence.

Original purchasers of convertible, exchangeable or exercisable Securities will have a contractual right ofrescission against Encana in respect of the conversion, exchange or exercise of such Securities, as the case maybe. The contractual right of rescission will entitle such original purchasers to receive the amount paid uponconversion, exchange or exercise, upon surrender of the underlying securities gained thereby, in the event thatthis prospectus (as supplemented or amended) contains a misrepresentation, provided that: (i) the conversion,exchange or exercise takes place within 180 days of the date of the purchase of the convertible, exchangeable orexercisable security under this prospectus; and (ii) the right of rescission is exercised within 180 days of the dateof the purchase of the convertible, exchangeable or exercisable security under this prospectus.

In an offering of convertible, exchangeable or exercisable securities, purchasers are cautioned that thestatutory right of action for damages for a misrepresentation contained in the prospectus or any prospectussupplement is limited, in certain provincial and territorial securities legislation, to the price at which theconvertible, exchangeable or exercisable securities are offered to the public under the prospectus offering.
